      Not an easy person to interview at all. I think it's because he's a say what you mean and mean what you say kinda individual and has no time for bs. I like that about him. When famous people are interviewed the person asking the questions is sometimes too busy kissing ass or asking stupid questions. Ain't nobody got time for that. Ask intelligent questions and stop treating celebs like they're the second coming 🙄

    • @revolver
      @revolver  2 роки тому +48

      Absolutely. Agree wholeheartedly. My mentor said that a good interviewer isn't a fan, but a curious and well-informed stranger. It is incredibly hard to turn off your fan side, especially when talking to someone who you have enjoyed since the age of 14, but I did my best. Can only try to do better.
      One thing worth noting here is this is my third Maynard interview. This was the first time I was even allowed to mention TOOL, but only in the context of his overall history as a fan. I was so conscious that if I went too hard here I could easily lose him. That doesn't mean that I haven't been kept up at night by the fact I didn't ask the below. I hope one day I get to do a TOOL deep dive with him, and also give fans the opportunity to submit their own questions.
      The ones I wish I asked:
      Your first band Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty included a prescient manifesto with its first $5 tape. What you mention here is reflected in the lyrical content of "Aenima." What other artists’ manifestos played into your thinking while writing that? How does it feel to know you were on the path, then?
      It took Tool seven shows to get signed. Who were the coolest people who liked your band that early?
      You said the primal scream was the key to making it sound sincere in your book. Who are the screamers you most admire?
      Thanks for watching dudes, and taking the time to comment. It means a lot, I just want to do right by you guys, and honour the privilege it is to spend time with my idols.

    I am glad Maynard did this interview, his tone doesn’t imply he was excited to do it, more like, I have chores to do like ducks to feed and vineyards to manage. As a hardcore Maynard fan, I clicked this video looking for something I haven’t seen or heard from Maynard before, but in the end he delivered and I respect what he’s carved out in his life and the inspiration he has generated for artists and fans alike through all these years. I like that he didn’t sell the farm and compels everyone to spiral out, and keep going.

Next time I’m road tripping around for a few. Praying they drop a gem like undertow for the first time in 20 years like they just did. While I can drop 500 on vip or 200-300 on close floor seats I’d rather get a single ticket to 5 different shows and drive around sleeping in my car.

    My only complaint is there were no Letter Kenny questions - I honestly think that is one of the smartest/funniest shows as of late. It is so damn relatable, and certainty has that 'x' factor of purity/honesty.

    Great interview, took a while to get through to him but you managed it pretty well I thought! I once had the privilege of interviewing Danny at a listening party before the release of 10,000 Days and was slightly relieved, as interviewers were either given slots with Danny, or Maynard and Justin together. Often wondered how I would have gone with Maynard, as the interviewer in that slot while I was talking to Danny said it was really hard work. I did speak to Justin briefly separately afterwards and he was really cool, friendly and down to earth. I think Maynard actually is too, if you build some kind of rapport with decent questions and conversation. Anyway well done, enjoyed the interview!

      Probably cuz the riff was easily translated to sound like tool.

      Anyway I can’t imagine tool covering black dog or the ocean or Kashmir. Even apc covering when the levvee breaks is weird to me it’s not bad but not as special as no quarter.

    Jim is different than most other artists. I went to HS with him and we wrestled on the team together for 2 or 3 years. We could have become good friends, but I guess we had those already. Most artists are misfits in school, (and if rational, that is where all individual greatness comes from),---like I was more like, (never got over being the new kid I guess). But Jim wasn't a misfit, not that I saw in 3 years anyway. He fit in pretty good with everybody, and was his own man (young man), at the same time. I remember asking him, when were were talking about a cute gal who like him and he liked a bit I think to, "What would you do if you were out and she pulled out a joint?" He said, "Then I would not see her anymore.". No!--that is a good thing! But I guess that changed in GR art school. (Sorry Jim, for either direction there man, smiling here) The only thing I saw that pointed into a career of Music, was the Kiss posters plastered on the inside of his locker walls/door. Lots of people did well with Music, (I don't know how many know why though), and I love to see people doing well in what they love to do. But Jim is different. He could have been great at anything he set his mind to, from sports, (what we do when we were not taught math), to top achievers of a free society. I know it, and I am sure he knows it.
    But here is something else I know. We have all been sabotaged by the progressive movement, (Stop it. I know what I am taking about),---and with a brain in our head, (does not come with a college degree today), the free enterprise system in our hands, (where it started, and could only start), and the freedom of the citizens to compete in that free enterprise system, -------------------we all could have done better. Every one of us, even if your hair is purple. :)
    You told me you loved the song in the locker room Jim. Play a version of it. "Dream on, Dream until your dreams come true." (even though we know that also takes action, as you have proven well sir. Congrats).
